. Bonner zoologische Beiträge : Herausgeber: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn. Biology; Zoology. Editorial. The Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK) has established a long tradition in organizing and hosting international symposia. Most of these dealt with tropical zoology and often focussed on Africa and on vertebrates. Some special symposia were devoted to herpetology, the first of these to the reptiles of the Canary Islands, three further ones to all aspects of monitor lizard research, and the last one to the world's widest-distributed lizard, the lacertid Zootoca vivípara. In this tradition, one of us (Philipp Wagner) developed the idea of a First Internation- al Symposium on Agamid Lizards (his favourite squamate group) which was held at ZFMK on February 22-24, 2008 under the name "DeAgamis". The idea to bring the world's leading specialists on agamid lizards to Bonn and to de- velop new cooperation projects had a very positive echo. 50 researchers from 9 coun- tries (Australia, Czech Republic, England, Germany, The Netherlands, Russia, Switzer- land, the USA and Vietnam) attended, and a total of 20 talks and posters which covered a broad variety of topics on nearly all agamid groups were presented to the participants. Because not all contributors were able to submit their presentations to the present volume, their abstracts are summarized in an appendix in order to inform the readers who did at- tend the meeting, and about the topics presented and discussed. We wish to thank the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) for providing the funds that enabled us to invite speakers from abroad and even overseas. Moreover, we are indebted to our motivated and effective student crew, especially to Michael Barej, Monique Hölting and Julia Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these il
